5. For his anger endureth but a moment. David
here alludes to those dispensations of God’s providence which are the
chastisement ordered in his paternal government towards his erring children,
such as the plague which fell upon Jerusalem for David’s sins. In his favoris life. As soon as the Lord looked favorably upon David, the city lived,
and the king’s heart lived too. We die like withered flowers when the Lord
frowns, but his sweet smile revives us as the dews refresh the fields. Who
would know life, let him seek the favor of the Lord. Weeping may endure fora night; but nights are not for ever. Even in the dreary winter the
day-star lights his lamp. But joy cometh in the morning. When the Son of
Righteousness comes, we wipe our eyes, and joy chases out intruding sorrow. Who
would not be joyful that knows Jesus? The first beams of the morning bring us
comfort when Jesus is the day-dawn, and all believers know it to be so.
